    Default Faction Conversion List

    Here's the final ( just about! ) list of which old faction becomes which new faction:

    England - Bretonnia
    H R E - Empire
    Russia - Vampire Counts
    Egypt - Tomb Kings
    Moors - LizardMen
    Poland - Kislev ( later! )
    Aztec - Orcs
    Portugese - Dwarves
    Byzantium - High Elves
    Spanish - Dark Elves
    French - Skaven
    Sicily - Khorne
    Hungary - Nurgle
    Milan - Slaanesh
    Denmark - Tzeentch

    There is plenty of scope for other factions and additions, bu these are the core ones.

    So do these have any bearing on the progression of the mod or is it purely arbitrary which faction becomes which?

    Purely arbitrary .... there will be changes to just about everything that makes a factoin a faction .... but it is useful for anyone working on the mod to know.

    There is a possible 31 factions .... and we can't make them all and still have a workable mod before we all die of old age! We have an initial core set of factions that will make for good battles and a nice balanced campaign.

    Yes...we can add extra units, extra factions and so on ...but that will be follow up work. Priority now is getting a working framework that we can build on.

    We can still include Beastmen units....but as rebels. No need to flesh out a whole unit set that way.

    Grailknight is correct. Transylvania is in the Mountainous regions of Romania, and not Russia. This, however, is Warhammer....

    I picked them purely because of the Eastern European accents of the troops, and because they had to be some faction

    There is ABSOLUTELY NO RELATION between the factions and their chosen sides. Except where I felt that th egame had some existing feature that would fit. Like choosing Egypt for the Tomb Kings...

    Wouldn't it be logical to make Aztecs into Lizardmen seeing as the Lizard men are completely based off of the Aztecs. I don't know wheather it would make a difference but perhaps that way the cities would match lizardmen cities.

    I'm seeing some sort of resemblance here. Just thought I'de point that out.
